Susannah: II. A Kind Providence
From A Selection from the Works of Frederick Locker (1865)
Social Commentaries
He dropt a tear on Susan's bier,
He seemed a most despairing swain;
But bluer sky brought newer tie,
And--would he wish her back again?
The moments fly, and, when we die,
Will Philly Thistletop complain?
She'll cry and sigh, and--dry her eye,
And let herself be wooed again.
